Millennium Hustle at Il Campanello

Lori Brizzi threw a party at Il Campanello tonight. The party featured Hustle, West Coast Swing and Salsa. The price was $15 per person, but you got in for only $10 each if you ordered dinner. There was also a raffle for dinner-eaters. I thought these two measures were excellent ways to encourage dancers to patronize restaurants that offer social dancing.

The DJ, Bobby Morales, played a rotation of extended sets of each dance. The floor seemed to be equally packed no matter which dance style he played. Il Campanello has a generously sized, high quality floor.

Overall, I thought this was an excellent party that created a fun environment with a laid-back elegance. Many of the people there had clearly put some care into what they were wearing. I will definitely put this party on my calendar in the future.

The party is normally held monthly, however, due to scheduling conflicts, the next party will be August 4th, 2007. For more information about Lori's parties, check out www.loribrizzi.com.
